Dear Richard Standke:
SUBJECT: Special Management Area (SMA) Use Permit Assessment Application
(PL-SAA-2025-000280)
Applicant: Richard Standke
Landowner: Richard & Deborah Standke
Request: Return of Application
TMK: (3) 2-1-018:013; South Hilo District, Hawaii
This letter is in response to your Special Management Area (SMA) Use Permit Assessment
Application submitted to our office on March 31, 2025. You requested approval to construct a
first-floor concrete deck, a second-floor lanai, internal stairs, and to replace the roof of a single-
family residence located within the SMA. Please note that this property is not a shoreline parcel.
As defined by Planning Commission(PC) Rule 9-4(s), the "shoreline"refers to:
"...the upper reaches of the wash of waves, other than storm and seismic waves, at high tide
during the season of the year in which the highest wash of the waves occurs, usually
evidenced by the edge of vegetation growth, or the upper limit of debris left by the wash of the
waves. "
Given the property's inland location and the scope of the proposed work, which includes both
interior and exterior improvements to an existing single-family residence, the project qualifies as
an exempt action pursuant to Planning Commission Rule 9 and Hawai`i Revised Statutes (HRS)
Chapter 205A.
EXHIBIT A, pg. 1 of 2
April 11, 2025
Specifically:
1. Under Planning Commission Rule 9-4(i)(2), the term"development" does not include:
o (A) Construction or reconstruction of a single-family residence less than 7,500
square feet in floor area, not situated on a shoreline parcel or one affected by
waves, storm surges, high tide, or shoreline erosion, and not part of a larger
development.
o (F) Repair,maintenance, or interior alterations to existing structures or uses.
o (0) Structural and non-structural improvements to existing single-family
residences, where otherwise permissible.
2. Similarly, under HRS §205A-22(2), "development" does not include:
o (A) Construction or reconstruction of a single-family residence less than 7,500
square feet, not located on a shoreline parcel or one impacted by coastal hazards,
and not part of a larger development.
o (F) Repair,maintenance, or interior alterations to existing structures.
o (N) Structural and non-structural improvements to existing single-family
residences, where otherwise permissible.
Based on these provisions, your project qualifies as an exempt action under County Planning
Commission Rule 9. Therefore, an SMA permit is not required, and application PL-SAA-2025-
000280 is no longer necessary. We are returning your application and will be processing a refund
of your application fee.
As part of the building permit application process, Planning staff will review and complete a
SMA short form to complete the SMA review.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Alukahe Kala of this department at (808)
961-8170 or via email at Alukahe.Kala@hawaiicounty.gov.
Sincerely,
